ADJUSTABLE DOOR-HANGER SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.642,069, dated January 30, 1900.

Application led July 17, 1897. Serial No. 644,940. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT G. BIEEEACH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Milwaukee, inthe county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsimhave invented new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Door-Hangers, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in adjustable door-hangers.

The objects of my invention are, iirst, to pro vide means for adjustinga door both vertically and laterally, and, second, to provide means foreasily removing the door from its hangers. A

In the following description reference is had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure l is a front view of a portion of the doorwith its supporting-track and one of my improved hangers, two of suchhangers being required with each door. Fig. 2 is a vertical section viewof the device shown in Fig. l, drawn at right angles thereto. Fig. 3 isa detail view of the rear side of one of the hangers as it appears uponthe door, showing the projecting end of the ad j usting-bolt. Figs. 4and 5 are detail front and side views, respectively, of a modiiicationof the lower hangersection, whereby the door is made readily detachablefrom the main portion of the hanger.

Like parts are identified by the same reference-letters throughout theseveral views.

The door A is provided with two brackets B, one of which only is shownand described. The bracket B is provided with an adjustingbolt C, whichoperates in smooth bearings formed in the vertical walls of saidbracket. The adj Listing-bolt C is threaded at its center and passesthrough a screw-threaded eye in the lower end of the section D of thehangerbar, the hanger being adjusted transversely of the door by turningthe bolt C. The upper end of the section D is provided with ascrew-threaded socket E, in which the upper section F of the hanger-bar,which is also screw threaded, operates, the latter being swiveled to theframe G of the truck. The frame G is supported by the overhead track II.The hanger is adjusted to raise or lower the door by applying a wrenchto the nut I of the upper hanger-section F.

In Figs. 4 and 5 I have shown a convenient device for facilitating theremoval of the door without unscrewing the hanger, which consists informing the lower hanger-section D in two parts, which are connectedtogether by interlocking hooks L and L. With this construction the doormay be readily removed by disengaging the hooks.

It is obvious that by the combination of the two adjusting devicesdescribed the door is susceptible of four adjustments upon itshangers-viz., upward and downward and toward the right or left-wherebythe single object or unitary result of bringing the door to andretaining it at the exact point of adjustment desired is readilyattained.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a door-hanger, the combination of a bracket adapted to be attachedto the upper edge of a door; an adjusting-bolt arranged transverselythrough the upper projecting walls or lugs of said bracket, havingsmooth bearings at each end thereof in said walls, and provided with acentral screw-threaded portion between said Walls; a hanger-bar providedwith a screw-threaded eye operating upon the central screw-threadedportion of said adjusting bolt, substantially as described.

2. In a door-hanger, the combination of a bracket adapted to be attachedto the upper edge of a door; an adjusting-bolt arranged transverselythrough the upper projecting walls or lugs of said bracket, havingsmooth bearings at each end thereof in said Walls, and provided with acentral screw-threaded portion between said walls 5 a vertical hangerbarformed in two parts, having the lower end of the lower part providedwith a horizontal screw-threaded eye operating upon the centralscrew-threaded portion of said adj usting-bolt, and its upper endprovided with a screw-threaded socket operating upon the screwthreadedlower end of the upper section or part of the hanger, the latter beingswiveled to a supporting bracket or carriage, all substantially as andfor the purpose specilied.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

ALBERT G. BIERBAOH.
